It was reported on telly tonight that players in the industry predict this change will kill our deep sea fishing industry. I suspect the problem is that most countries heavily subsidise their fishing fleets one way or another , but we don't . So, to remain competitive we must have access to slave labour . And we do , courtesy of Korean slave masters. I don't agree with it, but maybe it's an economic reality.
We need a different model—subsidies linked to sustainable fishing practices .
